House of the Count of Suchil

House of the Count of Suchil (Casa del Conde del Valle de Súchil) is 2 blks. e. of Plaza de Armas at Av. 5 de Febrero and Calle Francisco I. Madero. This is a fine example of mid-18th-century Spanish colonial architecture. Built for a wealthy landowner, the restored mansion's former grandeur is evident in such exterior features as the roof-line sculptures and elaborate molding around the main doorway. The building houses a Banamex bank branch, but visitors are welcome to wander around the interior courtyard.
